Meet a Commuity Organization: Tenant Net

I continue our journey into the world of community organizations in the US with part two of my daily blog series. Today, we will examine the New York based Tenant Net which can be found online at http://tenant.net/.

Tenant Net is an online resource for tenants who have been evicted. It is made up by a collection of individual tenants and leaders of tenant community organizations. They provide a wide variety of resources mainly for New York state residents, but they also have information on other states as well. It is a one stop shop to learn about tenant's rights, available apartments, rental statistics, attorney's who represent tenants, and provides updates on news that effects tenants.

Tenant Net is not funded by any outside interests. They make money through Google Adsense ads and other sponsored advertisements on their site, but also keep their costs low by having volunteers post material.

You can contact Tenant Net at this web address: http://www.tenant.net/contact/contact.html
